Most generally if routers are setup well and in a good working envrionment, reboots are not needed or should be needed.
Problems causing routers to be rebooted should be investigated and troubleshot to bring the real problem to light and then make adjustments there.
Items like noise, wifi neighbors and congestions, mis configurations, placement of the Orbi devices and ISP modem configurations are all leads that need to be check into.
I've seen over 14 days of Orbi use with no reboots ever needed. I"m sure others have seen more as well.
